The idea that "eating a donut" == "slowly killing oneself" is very silly to me. People get donuts because people like donuts. If you don't like donuts thats fine. But most people like donuts and don't think of it as "I am committing suicide by doing this". TLDR chill
I read a book about particle physics and understood a very small amount of it. My understanding is that you cannot have faster than light anything because nothing can travel faster than light. For instance, the gravitational field of this coffee cup in my hand spans the entire universe. The cup is gravitationally attracting me, the Earth, the Sun, and every other atom in the universe (albeit at a remarkably low level of power). Even this gravitational field is not FTL though, because some particle exists that does the work of attracting. My cup is emitting gravitons or something like that, and those gravitons travel at the speed of light. A graviton leaves my cup, travels at the speed of light to Mars, and when it hits Mars, it attracts it.
What I am saying is that, in my understanding, there is no action that can occur without a particle that acts, and since no particle can travel FTL, nothing can happen FTL.
In the case of Quantum entanglement, mustn't some particle travel from the first quantum thing to the entangled quantum thing in order to have an effect?
I believe that my understanding is flawed! I don't know how to get a clearer view though. Any advice?
Why are AI developers so goddamned keen on having it make art, one of the few kinds of work that human beings actually LIKE doing? We could use AI to be a CPA, or to write citations for a paper, but noooo, AI has to be a painter and a musician.
It's almost like the software developers are jealous that someone out there is having a good time and want to take it from them.
Also miss me with that 'AI enables me (a scrub) to make art I couldn't otherwise because I don't want to learn how to do it'. You are lazy. Congrats on finding a high horse about your laziness.
